UPDATED RULEBOOK AVAILABLE AT BOARDGAMEGEEK. I CANNOT LINK IT DIRECTLY ANYMORE BECAUSE EBAY'S AI AND CUSTOMER SERVICE IS BAD AND IT SHOULD FEED BAD. In Darkrock Ventures, each player is in control of their own, small, independent, deep-space asteroid mining ship and a skeleton crew. Each mining venture will receive corporate sponsorship through the Darkrock Ventures Deep-Space Mining Consortium and will be given its own unique adventages as they set out on their task of extracting as much of the valuable metal ore from the asteroid as they can in the shortest amount of time possible. There are other companies working against you, after all! The core of Darkrock Ventures, runs on a very clever "Shared Dice" mechanism; players will be rolling their own special Mining Rig Dice and pairing one of them with one of the 3 standard shared dice in the middle of the board. When one of your dice plus one of the shared dice make one of the totals shown on the various mining sites on the board, you are able to collect that resource... but only if you assigned a worker there beforehand or you manage to move one of your crew members there mid-round. DESCRIPTION: Darkrock Ventures is a worker placement game about mining and exporting in a hostile outer space. Players will be controlling a mining company working in harsh conditions to acquire the most credits. GENERAL INFO: A euro game for 1-5 players that plays in about 30-45 minutes. THEME: Science Fiction. Space is a hostile environment with a known alien presence. Resources are scarce and it is commonplace for companies to mine asteroids to acquire them. It is known that aliens raid these asteroids and therefore mining companies are geared accordingly in preparation of being attacked. Lives are lost in this line of work daily, but if you run a good crew you can make it out alive and rich! HOOK: Richly thematic euro incorporating dice and dice manipulation, with worker placement, resource farming and exporting. WINNING CONDITION: Highest Credits when the end of the game is triggered. Credits are acquired primarily from exporting minerals mined from the asteroid. MECHANICS: A round begins with rolling a set of Power Dice, these are community dice that players will use in order to successfully mine the asteroid. Players then take turns placing workers throughout different space stations and on a mineral rich asteroid. After all the workers have been placed a third and more volatile Power Die is rolled. A player starts his/her turn by rolling his/her Rig Dice, these represent the a power element of his/her mining equipment that is to be paired with the community Power Dice in order to successfully mine resources from the asteroid. Then he/she resolves all his/her workers. As soon as players begin exporting minerals, hostile alien ships begin patrolling and will attack every round making it more difficult to resolve all the workers successfully. Throughout the game, players will be increasing their worker count, gaining and spending credits (which are the victory points), gaining additional Rig Dice and acquiring explosive Neutronium bombs to protect them from the alien attacks. When 3 of the 6 resource nodes on the asteroid are void of minerals the end of the game is triggered. The round is finished and the player with the most credits wins the game. Darkrock Ventures will also include special 2-player game rules, as well as a Solo/Co-Operative variant. Players: 1-5 Ages: 14+ Playtime: 30-45 min
